Box 490 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> RE: STAR LIGHT ESTATES <br /> Dear Mr. Harlicker: <br /> As requested, we have reviewed the administrative subdivision for Star light Estates. Based on <br /> our review, we would offer the following comments. <br /> • 1. This administrative subdivision proposes to create one lot surrounding an existing home <br /> and then leave an outlot with approximately 13.5 acres for future development. The <br /> outlot will be serviced with a public road off of Meadowvale Road (County Road 32). <br /> The 60-foot portion of Outlot A, which will eventually become right-of-way for the public <br /> street, is located approximately 200 feet east of Pascal Street. Pascal Street has a <br /> significant amount of traffic since it is the only way to access Oakwood Hills and also <br /> servicing a portion of Hobbit Hills. We would suggest that better separation of <br /> intersecting streets along a County Road could be achieved if the 60-foot portion of <br /> Outlot A for future right-of-way were located on the east side of the existing home rather <br /> than the west side. <br /> 2. We would also suggest that when the future street to service Outlot A is constructed, the <br /> existing home be required to relocate its driveway onto this street. This will eliminate <br /> one driveway access onto County Road 32. <br /> 3. The easement provided around the perimeter of Lot 1, Block 1 adjacent to the future <br /> street right-of-way should be increased to 10 feet rather than the 5 feet shown. <br /> 4. There is no topography provided for Outlot A, therefore, it is difficult to assess if there <br /> are any wetlands or other topographic features that will make the development difficult. <br /> We have reviewed the aerial photography for this property and it appears there are <br /> minimal, if any, wetlands. We assume that topography and wetland information will be <br /> provided when Outlot A is further subdivided. <br /> • <br /> o./proj./230-0120.jan <br /> 1326 Energy Park Drive • St. Paul, MN 55108 • 612/644-4389 fax 612/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389 <br />
